Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for filling valve bags
Inventor: JENSEN EJLER
IPC: B65B1/18
Filed: 1956-04-16
Abstract: 808,437. Weighing apparatus. SMIDTH & CO., A. S., F. L. April 16, 1956, No. 11524/56. Class 143 Apparatus for simultaneously filling a number of valve bags with a predetermined weight of fluidized pulverent material, comprises a stationary tank 1 feeling bag supporting spouts 7, each supported by a weigh beam 26 of an automatic feed weigher, cam controlled mechanisms for initiating feeding, and for re= leasing filled bags from the spouts, and a single shaft 12 mounting all the cams so that the operating cycles of all the weighers are of the same duration and are interrelated. The operation of each weigher is as follows, with a bag clamped by bell crank 50 to the spout, a cam 11, acting on a roller 9 through cam follower 15, lever 13, and rods 19, 20, moves the roller 9 to the right against the action of spring 82, and permits material to flow from tank 1 through rubber tube 6 and spout 7 until the weight of the loaded bag plus the weight 37, which bears on beam 26 through rod 36, collar 41 and rods 25, is sufficient to overcome the counterweight 31 so causing the spout and its supporting frame 24 to descend. An abutment 43 is moved downwardly by frame' 24 and releases a catch 85 and so allows rotation of a notched boss 17 on a lever 42 pivoted to the lower end of lever 13 and thereby releases catch 18 and allows roller 9 to compress tube 6 and so stop the flow of material. At this point a portion 40 on cam 33 (Fig. 5) acts through a lever 35 and raises rod 36 so that the frame 24, no longer subjected to the action of weight 37, rises and, due to follower 15 being in dwell 45 of cam 11 at this instant, the catch 85 engages abutment 43. Next portion 46 of cam 11 engages follower 15 and roller 9 is moved into position to allow a restricted flow through tube 6 which continues until frame 24 moves downward for the second time and tube 6 is again compressed. At this stage projection 39 on cam 33 causes rod 35 to raise rod 36 sufficiently to cause a hook 38 to engage an abutment 87 on a pawl 48 and lift this pawl out of engagement with a roller 88 on a rod 89 rigid with spout 7 so allowing the spout to swing about pivot 23 and thereby discharge the filled bag. A dwell 38 on cam 11 ensures that catch 85 reengages abutment 43 when the frame 24 rises to start the next cycle. The material in tank 1 is fluidized by air passing into the tank through chamber 3 and porous plate 2, and is fed to pipe 6 by a paddle 72 driven in timed relation with shaft 12. The tube 6 can be compressed at any time during the cycle by manual operation of a lever 21 which disengages catch 18 from the notch in boss 17. In a modification (Fig. 7 not shown) means are provided for preventing discharge of a bag in the event of the weight of the charge being less than a predetermined amount at the instant when hook 38 is raised. In a further modification (Fig. 6 not shown) flow through the spout is prevented if a bag is not in place on the spout.

Title: Function generators
IPC: G06G7/161
Filed: 1972-03-14
Abstract: 1383951 Function generators ITT INDUSTRIES Inc 14 March 1972 [15 March 1971] 11824/72 Heading G4G A function generator produces a voltage repre - senting (T<SP>2</SP>-Ti<SP>2</SP>) where T is an input variable and T, a constant, the input being in the form of a pulse of period T. The product (T/2 - T r /2) (T/2 + T r /2) is formed by two successive'integrations 15, 16, Fig. 1, and the output of the second integrator sampled by circuit 10, then multiplied by a scale factor in circuit 20. Square pulses of period T (waveform a), divided, if necessary, by divider 23, Fig. 2, are fed to AND gate 14 which also receives the output of a burst oscillator 29 and the 0 output of flip-flop 25. A counter 24 is set to count the output of the burst oscillator over. a time T r /2 and then to re-set the flip-flop to the 1 state, whereupon gate 14 is. inhibited. The leading edge of the next input pulse opens the gate and re-sets both the counter and the flip-flop. The output waveform is derived from the 1 output of flip-flop 25 and is shown as d and e in Figs. 7; 8. This output fed over lead 27 to actuate switch 26 of integrator 15 (Figs. 1, 3) which therefore integrates a constant input voltage E over the duration (T/2 - T r /2) of the pulses of waveform e. A differentiator 41 and one-shot multivibrator 42 provide reset pulses f which occur at the leading edges of pulses e and actuate the re-set switch 31 of the integrator circuit 37, 48. At re-set, the output of amplifier 37 is prevented from falling below a voltage Ed, which is chosen to cause the extrapolated ramp 50 to pass through zero volts at a time t 0  coinciding with the leading edge of pulse 49 (waveform e). This arrangement is necessitated by the fact that integrator 15 must re-set itself during its own integration period. The output g of integrator 15 is applied as input to a further integrator 16 (Fig. 4, not shown). The latter has a re-set switch actuated by pulses i which are produced by delaying the pulses f. The input switch of integrator 16 is actuated by an inverted form of the waveform e so that integration takes place during the interval t 2  to t 4  of duration (T/2 + T r /2). The output, which represents the product of the bracketed expressions is sampled and scaled in circuits 10, 20 which are of conventional construction. The switch of the sampling circuit is actuated by pulses f derived from multivibrator, 42 through a delay device.

Title: Process for producing aliphatic dinitriles from fatty acids
Filed: 1960-04-05
Abstract: Aliphatic dinitriles are prepared by feeding the corresponding dibasic acids into a vaporizing zone at a temperature at least equal to the vaporisation temperature of such acids and thereby vaporising part only of said dibasic acid, leaving a part in the liquid phase, reacting the dibasic acid vapour so formed with ammonia to produce the dinitrile, continually removing the unvaporised liquid dibasic acid from the vaporizing zone, cooling it and returning it to the dibasic acid feed.  The dibasic acid may be fed to the vaporizing zone in the molten state, if desired, together with heated ammonia, which may serve to vaporize part of the dibasic acid.  The reaction may be conducted in the presence of a catalyst comprising a combination of molybdic acid and phosphoric acid or vanadic or phosphoric acid or both, such catalyst being supported, if desired, on a carrier such as silica gel.  The ammonia and the said dibasic acid vapour may be reacted in the presence of the catalyst in a reaction zone separate from the vaporizing zone.  The preparation of dinitriles from azelaic, adipic and suberic acid is described.

Abstract: 396,504. Controlling apparatus by light. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London. -(Assignees of Handel, P. W.; 94, South 5th Street, Newark, Ohio, U.S.A.) April 27, 1932, No. 12119. Convention date, April 27, 1931. [Class 40 (v).] A statistical machine comprises means (cards 1) bearing characters (numbers 2), a movable member (disc 5) bearing similar characters, means for imaging one of the first characters on to the movable member and photo-electric devices (15) which respond, when the image coincides with the corresponding character on the movable member, and actuate registering or recording mechanism. The image of the printed member 2, of a series of such numbers on the card or sheet 1, is formed on the margin of disc 5 by a light source 10 and lenses 11, 12. This disc is rigid with a shaft 6 driven by worm gear 7, 8 by hand or by an electric motor. The numerals 1 .. 9 are stencilled at 14, so that when the number on the disc corresponding to the number being read on card 1 reaches and exactly coincides with the image, the light passing through the disc is a minimum, or zero. In between stencils 14, holes 17 allow some light to pass through. This coincidence shuts off the light from photo-electric device 15 which, through amplifier 16, causes an electric arc discharge device 20 to become conductive and deliver current from line 18 to solenoids 23 to actuate the latter. Synchronously with the passage of stencils 14 through the image, an arm 25 rigid with shaft 6, makes contacts with plates 26 connected to the solenoids 23 of a denomination of the adding machine 22. When the appropriate stencil number exactly coincides with the image, device 20 is affected and at the same time the circuit is completed at 25, 26 to the solenoid 23 corresponding to the number read from card 1. The plungers 24 of solenoids 23 engage the keys of any suitable known construction of adding machine. A plurality of columns of figures on card 1 may be added by using a corresponding plurality of stencil discs, photo-electric devices, amplifiers and switches. Between the passage of stencilled numbers 9, 1 past the image, an unperforated part of disc 5 shuts off the light to energize (contacts 25, 27) a solenoid 28 which thereupon actuates ratchet and pawl 30, 31 against spring 32 to move the card-feed rollers 3, 4 one step so that the next number in the column is read. Alternatively, contact 27 may be omitted, solenoid 28 being in series with the main supply circuit of commutator 21. Lamp 10 and cell 15 may be reversed in position so that images of the stencil numbers are thrown on the card 1 ; or an unperforated disc may be used having white figures on a black face which faces the card 1, the cell 15 receiving light reflected from the disc. The stencilled characters on disc 5 may be letters of the alphabet ; machine 22 being a typewriter. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 288,580, [Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.].
